Midsummer Dreams celebrates the remarkable light of the Finnish summer, when the Midnight Sun transforms the landscape into a world of pale blues, glowing pinks, and deep violets.

Inspired by vibrant Nordic sunsets, fields of wildflowers, lush forests, and tranquil lakes, these glass sculptures by Paula Pääkkönen capture the atmosphere of the season. Midsummer, or Juhannus, is Finland's most celebrated holiday after Christmas, when families gather at lakeside cottages to embrace the "white nights."

Glass becomes the perfect medium to express these fleeting experiences, holding and refracting light as it shifts throughout the day—from the pale luminosity of early morning to the saturated pinks, oranges, and deep blues that linger late into the midsummer night.
